Industry Grant

Since January 2018, MedTech Europe regulations have prohibited member companies from directly sponsoring physicians to attend third-party organized educational events.

Restricted educational grants may be provided to conference sponsors to help off-set registration, travel and hotel costs for participants wishing to attend to the congress.

Divine id is a PCO and is an Ethical MedTech Trusted Partner, the certification initiative launched by Ethical MedTech (MedTech Europe’s compliance portal), emphasizing our commitment to comply with the industry’s ethical standards.

Perspective Congress on November 29, 2019 has been assessed by Ethical MedTech’s Conference Vetting System (CVS) and the Symposium has been rendered provisionally compliant.

Our Industry Partners can issue us with an educational grant and we, the congress organizer, will select recipients based on criteria set by the Industry Partner. Companies will be able to define the type of recipients eligible for the grant but not name individual recipients.

Grants will cover the cost of registration, accommodation during the conference, and travel expenses.

Educational grants must be publicly disclosed, ensuring increased transparency of funds allocated to medical education.
